You Can Fry an Egg With Your 3D Printer

The team at 3D Modular Systems have just found a new use for their printers. Apparently, with a frying pan and a bit of ingenuity, a 3D printer with a heated build platform can substitute for an egg cooker in a pinch.

The group even offered detailed instructions on their Kickstarter campaign, which is aimed not at 3D printer cuisine but to launch their new Scalar M and Scalar XL modular and affordable printers.

Here is the lighthearted step-by-step:

Preheat the heat bed to at least 110°C (will take approximately 3 minutes).

Place a pan on top of heat bed until it reaches a temperature of approximately 100°C (will take approximately 10-15 minutes).

Crack the egg into the pan, and cook to desired firmness (place a little butter in the pan prior to frying if desired).

Season the egg to your liking.

Eat the egg in front of your wife as she looks at you perplexed, asking where you got it.

Begin your 3D printing project approximately 20 minutes late, but with a much more satisfied stomach.

They also offered this handy tutorial video on YouTube:

So far, the video has garnered less than 400 views, making it seem unlikely that 3D printer cookery will trending anytime soon.
